There are minimum requirements for any kernel, and if you don't meet those requirements you should expect problems. Maybe not immediately.
eg You must have the correct version of your filesystem utilities. Their lack may result in anything from impared performance to actual filesystem damage, maybe when you do a filesystem checj. eg If you don't have the right modules management utilities, you can't manage (load/unload) modules.
